Pet care experience

I've been around dogs my whole life and worked closely with most breeds, as my mom has shown dogs professionally. My husband and I work as a team. * Please note that I take bookings as a first come first serve basis. Bookings are not finalize until confirmed through the Rover app. * All dogs must be crate trained! If dog is not, crate trained, the owner is liable for any damages caused by the dog. *Pick up and drop off windows are subject to only 1 hour windows. * I offer daily enrichment activities from snuffle mats to doggy puzzles. * We have lots of doggy toys and doggy beds. * I charge holiday rate for all dogs in my care during holidays even siblings * We take more than one booking at a time. But I can make accommodations if you would like your dog separated from any other guests we have. I have helped whelped puppy litters from Rottweilers, boxers,GSP to Chinese cresteds. Dogs have been family since birth to me, I also love taking photos of dogs and other animals sometimes.

Our pug, June was super taken care of by Crista. She did an amazing job taking care of our sensitive older girl. Will definitely use her again in the future
